Features *OFFICIAL* Ford Unibody 61-63 Pict Thread

please give me a shout. I'd like to talk about the M100

 

My uni

 

That's my old UNI ... just missed you in Fla. Wife, little guy & I were over in Ft. Walton Bch. We'll X paths again my friend!! Truck still looks good.

 

Hi, I'm new to the whole forum thing, but I have a '61 Unibody that has been in my family since '68 and I have owned it since I was 16. I bought it from my uncle and my dad and I did a 3 year frame up restoration. I rebuilt the 292 with the 4 speed but eventually pulled it all out and sold it and put in a 302 with a C4 from a '68 Galaxy 4 door. Unfortunately it has been sitting more than driven and enjoyed. I need to do some repairs and would like to do some updates. I would like to find out more info on the rarity of this truck being the first of the 3 years with the short box and big window. Does anyone have any info they can share?

 

Took the 20" auto-x wheels off and went with some 15'' steelie's and caps.

 

Looks awsome!! I'd like to get mine down to about that ride height.

 

Little update on my cousin's 1961 posted above. In under a year and a half he did what he set out to do and drove it to his graduation this past weekend. Couldn't have beaten the smile off the bugger with a stick.
Pretty stoked/proud of the guy. From field truck with no drivetrain to on the road with a 390 and toploader in that time is an accomplishment for any of us let alone a 15/16 year old balancing life, school, farm life and work.

 

Not sure how I missed this thread, but here's my '62 as seen in my avatar.

 

If he finishes out the rest of it as nice as the engine bay... oh my!

 

He's plugging away at it. I picked up some old Cal Custom valve covers in Portland and he polished 'em up and swapped 'em for those chrome ones, looks mean now.

I’m a fan of these trucks.
